Cross-Border-Relocation (Individuals and Entities)

Taking up or abandoning a German domicile can have significant tax consequences which require careful planning prior to relocation. We advise our clients on the (tax) preparation and implementation of private relocations as well as cross-border “corporate relocations” due to the relocation of headquarters or functions within the corporate structures.

Our range of services includes in particular:

• Structuring existing assets to avoid taxation of hidden reserves when shareholders/asset holders relocate abroad
• Development of optimized asset structures in cooperation with advisors in potential relocation states
• Consideration of intergenerational shareholder mobility in group restructurings
• Cooperation with advisors in the country of residence when planning relocation to Germany
• Consulting on temporary cross-border relocations
• Consulting on the relocation of business units abroad
• Consulting on transfer of functions
• Support during controversial tax audits in the case of alleged transfers of functions
